Meanwhile, the leaked Game Of Thrones cast list for episode one of the upcoming eighth series has also revealed it's possible Tormund Giantsbane and Lord Beric Dondarrion survived the fall of the wall.

Looks like Tormund (Kristofer Hivju) didn’t perish, after all.

And Richard Dormer could be returning as Lord Beric Dondarrion.

One of the show's fan sites, Watchers On The Wall, claims to have an unconfirmed cast list for the first episode.

However, there are a few names on the list that may come as a surprise to fans, particularly Richard Dormer (Lord Beric Dondarrion) and Kristofer Hivju (Tormund Giantsbane).

The two characters were last seen running away from the wall as it began to crumble at the end of season seven.

The site also revealed superfans had figured out the episode was set to be exactly 60 minutes long, and their cast list discovery featured a few familiar names that hadn't been seen on screen for a few series.

However, speculation aside, fans of the show won't have to wait too long to find out whether their favourite characters have made it on to the final series of the show, as it's set to return on April 15.
